Definitions

  • Fully hardened or partially hardened triglyceride vegetable oil compositions and derivatives thereof comprising inter alia fatty acids, mono-glycerides, di-glycerides and so forth.
  • These compositions typically comprise triglyceride oils or derivatives thereof (i. a. fatty acids, mono-glycerides, di-glycerides) with a content of various tocopherols not exceeding a level of 20 ppm.
  • Low coloured fats are widely used in various industries in order to manufacture products that are utilized in either transparent applications, such as acrylic glass, plastic foils, or nearly colourless applications such as transparent soaps or detergents. Moreover, the colour stability of fat derived products is of importance in numerous applications such as gels, adhesives, primers, plastics, plasticizers and many other applications.
  • animal fats such as lard or tallow.
  • Fully or partially hydrogenated animal fats have a whitish colour and when melted seem to be practically colourless (almost like water).
  • these fats may show very little tendency to darken over time, especially when exposed to oxygen and are, therefore, particularly useful in applications requiring products to have little or no colour.
  • Vegetable fats while often cheaper and more widely available, however, have not been considered for such applications since their colour stability performs poorly in these challenging applications. Vegetable derived fats often contain various amounts of minor compounds such as tocopherols, chlorophylls, caroteens, vitamins, sterols and sterol esters which have a complex affect on the suitability of the fat in various applications. Such minor components (other than cholesterols) are typically not present in significant amounts in animal fats. Thus, animal fats were typically the first choice for applications where colour and/or colour stability was a concern.
  • a vegetable oil composition typically is produced in several steps. Seeds (such as soybean seeds) may be cleaned, tempered, dehulled, and flaked to prepare the seeds for an efficient oil extraction. Oil extraction is usually accomplished by solvent extraction or by a combination of physical pressure and/or solvent extraction. The resulting oil is called crude oil. The crude oil may be degummed by hydrating phospholipids and other polar and neutral lipid complexes which facilitate their separation from the non-hydrating, triglyceride fraction. The degummed oil may be further refined for the removal of impurities, primarily free fatty acids, pigments, and residual gums. Refining is accomplished by the addition of caustic which reacts with free fatty acids to form soap and hydrates phosphatides and proteins in the crude oil.
  • Water is used to wash out traces of soap formed during refining. Colour typically will be removed through absorption with a bleaching earth which removes most of the chlorophyll and carotenoid compounds.
  • the refined oil may then be hydrogenated either fully or partially to produce fats with various melting properties and textures.
  • oils and fats may be further processed through deodorization which is principally a steam distillation under vacuum. Deodorization is designed to remove volatile, polar compounds which can affect the flavour, odor and quality of the product. Typically, the levels of impurities such as tocopherols and sterols are lowered during the deodorization process.
  • Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction in which hydrogen is added to the unsaturated fatty acid double bonds of an oil with the aid of a catalyst such as nickel. Hydrogenation has two primary effects. First, the oxidative stability of the oil is increased as a result of reduction in the unsaturated fatty acid content. Second, the physical properties of the oil are changed because the fatty acid modifications increase the product's melting point resulting in a semi-liquid or solid fat at room temperature.
  • Selective hydrogenation conditions can be used to hydrogenate the more unsaturated fatty acids in preference to the less unsaturated ones.
  • Very light or brush hydrogenation is often employed to increase stability of liquid oil.
  • hydrogenation converts a liquid oil to a physically solid fat. The degree of hydrogenation depends on the desired performance and melting characteristics desired for the particular end-product.
  • the particular vegetable oils addressed by the present invention include hydrogenated triglyceride oils such as palm kernel oil, palm oil, palm oleins, palm stearines, palm mid fractions, olive oil, rapeseed oil, canola oil, linseed oil, ground nut oil, soybean oil, cotton seed oil, sunflower seed oil, pumpkin seed oil, coconut oil, corn oil, castor oil, walnut oil, haselnut oil, safflower oil, false flax oil and mixtures thereof.
  • the iodine values of the hydrogenated triglyceride oils for use in the instant invention may be determined by methods commonly known and used in the industry, such as the AOCS Cd 1-25 method (revised 1992).
  • Hydrogenated triglyceride oils of the present invention typically have an iodine value below 10 g/100 g, preferably below 5 g/100 g, and more preferably below 2 g/100 g. Such hardened oils will typically have a melting point of above 30 0 C.
  • the problem addressed by the present invention relates both to the colour and possible colour reversion of hardened oil compositions useful in the production of a wide variety of products requiring little or no colour.
  • a change of the colour of a triglyceride oil composition is related to the lack of stability of said composition.
  • the main focus is on the stability of oil compositions. Accordingly, the generally accepted understanding in the oil industry is that whenever problems of stability are properly solved, colour stability of the product should not be an issue.
  • Prior to the present invention there existed no solution to yield compositions of hardened vegetable oils which could be utilized in the production of products requiring little or no colour or colour reversion.
  • US-A-4,789,554 suggests to improve the frylife of edible oil through a vacuum steam stripping at very high temperatures for short residence times.
  • This vacuum steam stripping would remove some compounds such as tocopherols, tocotrienols, sterols, cholesterol, trace pesticides, and quinone-type structures which are believed to be deleterious to frylife of edible oil.
  • the applied stripping method may not have removed tocopherols to an overall level of less than 100 ppm.
  • the aim is to achieve a relatively high "stripping factor" the typical stripping time should be in the range of about 60 seconds at high temperatures.
  • the inventor of the present invention has surprisingly discovered that the tocopherol content of fully hydrogenated vegetable oil is responsible for the colouring of the compositions once they are exposed to oxygen. He has undertaken a thorough investigation of the phenomenon and determined that in particular gamma- tocopherol shows the most significant effect in terms of colouring and/or colour reversion of a fully hardened oil when exposed to ambient air. Removal of tocopherols from oil such that extreme low levels (or almost no tocopherol) as contemplated in the present invention are achieved requires extreme distillation or stripping conditions. Such conditions generally are believed to entail the production of undesirable by-products (see supra). Accordingly, it was surprising to find that products of the current invention demonstrate advantageous properties.
  • the present invention relates to a vegetable oil composition
  • a vegetable oil composition comprising a hardened vegetable oil wherein the hardened vegetable oil contains less than 20 ppm total tocopherol and has an iodine value of less than 10 g/100g.
  • the hardened oils are typically characterized by a melting point of above 1O 0 C, especially above 30 0 C, preferably above 50 0 C, and an iodine value of less than 10 g/100 g or 5 g/100 g, preferably less than 2 g/100 g (measured for example in accordance with AOCS Cd 1-25).
  • the composition of the present invention typically comprises a triglyceride oil, but the present invention also provides for compositions comprising monoglycerides, diglycerides, and mixtures thereof.
  • Monoglycerides derived from a triglyceride composition of the present invention are typically obtained by a reaction of the (fully hardened) triglyceride with glycerol utilizing processes well known and described in the art.
  • the main reaction product is a monoglyceride and the diglyceride.
  • the diglyceride may further react with glycerol thereby forming monoglyceride.
  • the reaction is typically conducted by heating the composition to approximately 240 0 C, optionally in the presence of a catalyst.
  • such monoglycerides, diglycerides and mixtures thereof can be obtained by reacting fatty acids - derived from the triglycerides of the present invention by hydrolysis,- with glycerol under esterifying conditions. Under all these typical production conditions any monoglyceride, diglyceride or mixture thereof, prepared from a fully hardened vegetable oil, will develop a significant colour unless the tocopherol level is maintained at less than 20 ppm, preferably less than 10 ppm. Thus, as of today, it has not been possible to obtain whitish or colourless compositions of mono and diglycerides, derived from vegetable oils which would remain colour stable with time and/or exposure to heat or oxygen.
  • Vegetable oils can be distinguished from animal oils (including monoglycerides and diglycerides derived therefrom) by the distribution of various fatty acids comprising the triglycerides. This distribution of fatty acids, often called a fatty acid profile is characteristic of, and can identify, an oil's source. For example, animal oils (and products derived therefrom) comprise a significant amount of fatty acids with an uneven carbon number.
  • the present invention is based on the appreciation that the significant colouring (or darkening) of hardened vegetable oils is related to the presence of tocopherol in the oil. Generally, it is believed that tocopherols contribute to the stability of the vegetable oil and, thus, depleting a composition of vegetable oil of tocopherols would be counter productive. Moreover, it was observed that the formation of colour in fully hardened vegetable oils proceeds rapidly and appears to be more or less irreversible.
  • tocopherol in the context of the present invention is meant to refer to alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherol.
  • the composition of the present invention generally should contain less than 10 ppm gamma-tocopherol, preferably less than 3 ppm. Although it may be preferred to remove practically all tocopherol present in the composition, levels of 0.2 to 1 ppm gamma-tocopherol were found to be acceptable in terms of colouring behaviour. Thus, in general tocopherol contents of alpha-, beta- and gamma-tocopherol with a concentration of less than 20 ppm, preferably less than 10 ppm was found satisfactory.
  • total tocopherol content 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ⁇ 10, 10, ⁇ 20, or 20 ppm are understood to be within the scope of the present invention whereby these values may refer to particular isomers or a combination of all or two or three etc. of them.
  • compositions according to the present invention may be characterized by their colour as determined in accordance with method Cc 13e-92 American Oil Chemist Society (LOVIBOND colour measurement in 5 1 A inch cuvettes).
  • the sample is illuminated with a halogen lamp corresponding to standard illuminant C.
  • the measurement results of the LICO ® 300 can be readily converted into Lovibond values.
  • a sample of a composition according to the invention e.g. 100 g in an open glass flask put into an oven at ambient air of 12O 0 C for a period of 48 h would typically not show a red value significantly above 2 (preferably below 2, more preferably below 1) or a yellow value significantly above 12 (preferably below 10, more preferably below 6).
  • compositions of the present invention include a vegetable triglyceride oil, such as palm oil, palm oleins, palm stearines, palm mid fractions, olive oil, rapeseed oil, canola oil, linseed oil, ground nut oil, soybean oil, cotton seed oil, sunflower seed oil, pumpkin seed oil, corn oil, castor oil, walnut oil, haselnut oil, safflower oil, fals flax oil and mixtures thereof.
  • the triglyceride oil is palm oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower seed oil or soybean oil, which has been hardened to an iodine value less than 20 g/100 g.
  • These compositions typically have a melting point of above 55°C.
  • blends of various hardened oils mentioned above are specifically included within the scope of the present invention.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is a composition comprising fully hardened palm, rape seed, sun flower or soy bean oils or mixtures thereof.
  • Such non-lauric oils have a melting point of above 55 0 C.
  • These oils moreover have a fatty acid profile which makes them particularly suitable as replacements for fully hardened animal oils, such as lard.
  • a preferred composition comprises 40 to 60 wt.% hardened oil, or greater than 90% of a hardened oil.
  • compositions of the present invention can be comprised of substantially all hardened oil.
  • compositions of the present invention typically mainly consist of the hardened triclyceride or compounds derived therefrom. In any event, these compositions (and derivatives therefrom) maintain the fatty acid profile which provides the signature or fingerprint which is typical for their origin. Thus, preferably the compositions according to the present invention have the fatty acid profile of vegetable oils such as palm oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower seed oil, soybean oil, or mixtures thereof. Compositions of the present invention are further understood to include products wherein the overall content of the triglycerides, diglycerides or monoglycerides, respectively, comprises at least 30, 50 or 70 wt.%.
  • another embodiment of the invention includes products derived from hardened triglyceride oils such as the mono-glycerides and the di-glycerides or surfactants/detergents.
  • the further process steps in order to arrive at such products are well known to a skilled person and, thus, need not be explained here in greater detail.
  • detergents can be obtained by a sequence of process steps.
  • fatty acids are separated from the triglycerides by catalyzed hydrolysis at about 18O 0 C (thereby producing fatty acids and glycerol).
  • the fatty acids can be further modified into alkaline soaps.
  • detergents such as non-ionic tensides or fatty alcohol ether sulfates require that the fatty acids are hydrogenated (or reduced under catalytic conditions) to fatty alcohols.
  • the fatty alcohols may be ethoxylated or reacted with sulfonates.
  • the present invention also concerns fatty acids (and esters) derived from the inventive triglyceride oils, preferably C 12 -C20 carboxylic acids.
  • Fatty acids and fatty acid methyl esters are some of the more important oleochemicals which may be derived from the vegetable oils according to the present invention.
  • Fatty acids are used for the production of many products such as soaps, medium chain triglycerides, polyol esters, alkanol amides, etc.
  • the vegetable oils of the present invention can be hydrolyzed or split into their corresponding fatty acids and glycerides.
  • Fatty acids produced from various fat splitting processes may be used crude or more often are purified into fractions or individual fatty acids by distillation and fractionation.
  • Purified fatty acids and fractions thereof may be further converted into a wide variety of oleochemicals, such as dimer and trimer acids, di-acids, alcohols, amines, amides, and esters.
  • Fatty acid methyl esters are increasingly replacing fatty acids as starting materials for many oleochemicals such as fatty alcohols, alkanol amides, alpha- sulfonated methyl esters, diesel oil components, etc.
  • interesterification products have to be understood to be within the scope of the present invention.
  • Interesterification refers to the exchange of the fatty acyl moiety between an ester and an acid (acidolysis), an ester and an alcohol (alcoholysis) or an ester and an ester (transesterification).
  • Interesterification reactions are achieved using chemical or enzymatic processes. Random or directed transesterification processes rearrange the fatty acids on the triglyceride molecule without changing the fatty acid composition.
  • the modified triglyceride structure may result in a fat with altered physical properties.
  • Directed interesterification reactions using lipases are becoming of increasing interest for speciality products like cocoa butter substitutes. Products being commercially produced during interesterification reactions include but are not limited to shortenings, margarins, cocoa butter substitutes and structured lipids containing medium chain fatty acids.
  • the present invention also relates to the use of the composition as defined herein in the production of products derived therefrom such as the various products referred to above. All these uses typically require that the final product is not significantly coloured and does not become significantly coloured upon exposure to heat and/or air or just with time. Thus, providing these products with these characteristics which are related to the particularly low concentration of tocopherols is a significant contribution.
  • compositions of the present invention can be utilized in the production of various compounds/compositions and related products including emulsifiers, fatty acids, softeners, detergents and waxes (candles).
  • these compounds/compositions are mixtures with a fingerprint or signature which is identical with or related to the fatty acid profile of the vegetable triglyceride oils from which these compounds/compositions have been derived. It is to be understood, however, that individual compounds are also within the scope of the present invention.
  • oils in nature which may have a tocopherol content of about 20 or 30 ppm.
  • Such oils include coconut oil having a melting point of about 22°C.
  • Such oils - as far as they confirm with the specification demanded by the present invention (tocopherol content of less than 20 ppm) - may be used in the production of any of the products addressed by the present invention.
  • the inventor is not aware of the availability of in particular coconut oil meeting the specification of the present invention he wishes to state that such oils as such, in particular coconut oils with a melting point of about 22°C and having a tocopherol content of below 20 ppm as far as such oil already exists in nature, are not within the scope of the claims.
  • the reduction of tocopherol content in the compositions according to the present invention may be achieved by various means including high temperature vacuum steam distillation processes or short path thin film vacuum distillation.
  • the distillation apparatus is held at a temperature of 180 to 35O 0 C within a vacuum range of 0.001 to 0.01 mbar in case of wiped film distillation or higher pressures up to 1 mbar in case of falling film distillations.
  • the present invention further concerns a process for the manufacture of a 5 composition as defined above wherein the content of tocopherols is lowered to a level of less than 20 ppm, preferably less than 10 ppm or 5 ppm, more preferably less than 2 ppm by way of a distillation under vacuum.
  • the composition of the present invention can be produced by lowering the content of tocopherols in the vegetable oil as such and subsequently effecting the hardening of the fat.
  • suitable is a thin film short path distillation and an equipment as provided by UIC, Inc. Jolliet, Illinois, U.S.A. (or UIC GmbH, Alzenau-H ⁇ rstein, Germany).
  • a particular advantage of the present invention is to provide a triglyceride oil derived from a vegetable source useful in the production of mono-glycerides.
  • the present invention also relates to a process for the production of mono-glycerides wherein the starting material is a vegetable triglyceride fat having a content of tocopherols below 20 ppm which is reacted with an excess of glycerol at a
  • the final product consisting mainly of the mono- glyceride may be obtained by conducting a short path distillation at a temperature of 180 0 C to 220 0 C (preferably about 200 0 C) under a vacuum of about 0.01 mbar to 0.04 mbar. In a typical process, first so-called low-concentrates with about 50% monoglyceride, 7% diluted glycerol and 35% diglyceride are obtained.
  • the present invention makes available mono- and/or di-glycerides which have the fatty acid profile of non-lauric oil, such as palm oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil or soy bean oil, and with the low colour/colour reversion specification achieved by the present invention.
  • non-lauric oil such as palm oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil or soy bean oil
  • the present invention places emphasis on by-products that are naturally occurring in vegetable oils. These by-products in the natural oil (triglyceride or mixture of triglycerides) can be oxidized and form coloured molecules of a chinoid type. Thus, it is believed that the oxidation of tocopherols and tocotrienols may cause a pronounced darkening of fully hardened vegetable oils and fats. The compound having the major effect on darkening is the gamma-tocopherol and its oxidation products. It has been observed that as soon as a significant colour is produced in a composition comprising vegetable oils this colour cannot be removed easily by using a distillation process.
  • the composition of the present invention presumedly has a low content of oxidation products, such as inter alia 5-gamma-tocopheroxy-gamma tocopherol (one may contemplate preferably less than 10 ppm, more preferably less than 5 ppm).
